Does anyone remember Teddy Ruxpin . . .the talking, singing, story telling teddy bear that came out eons ago? I don't know what it was about him, but he always seemed creepy to me . . .kinda evil . . . If I were a kid, I would be afraid to sleep with that thing in my room . . . .

I have a real problem with the whole embalming/autopsy crap! It scares me to death! (no pun intended) I also hate rodents, I don't know if its the teeth, the tails or the screechy sound they make, I just can't stand them! this includes mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and raccoons. I know, weird.
I just about jump out of my skin when the phone rings late at night. I think that stems from the movie "When a Stranger Calls" are you in the house alone??
wah! *shudder*

You know - looking back on it now, it is kinda funny . . . but as a little kid, it totally freaked me out!

I also get creeped out by washing a spider down the drain because of an episode I saw of Twilight Zone (or something similar). The lady washed a spider down the drain and it kept crawling back up - but every time it came back up it was bigger and bigger and bigger . . . until all they showed was the outside of her apartment and this big, long, spider leg coming out from under the door. EEEEKKKK!!!

You just reminded me of the time I was just getting ready for a shower and there was this huge (to me anyway) spider sitting in the middle of the tub. I came running out of the bathroom and down the hall to my room and back in my underwear to get my shoe to smash it. I was only 12 or so at the time so I'm pretty sure my parents wondered what the hell I was doing.

And yes, I remember Teddy Ruxpin. My sister just HAD to get one.. and Grubby, and those little fryguy fob things... she had the whole set and had them all singing and dancing and stuff, and would make the whole family watch her "puppet shows".
